After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Xiao Chiye took off the bamboo hat on his head and said, "I should have died, but maybe it was not my destiny. I met Divine Doctor Hua, and that saved my life."

Ke Zheng frowned tightly, "What on earth is going on? When I received the news, it said that your family was killed by robbers on your way back to Beijing one day."

Xiao Chiye found a place to sit down: "If I say I don't know, would you believe me?"

Ke Zheng sat opposite him and poured him a cup of tea: "I believe it, because three years ago, something big happened in the capital."

Xiao Chiye tightened his grip on the teacup: "What's the big deal?"

"The second prince plotted a rebellion and the emperor was furious." Ke Zheng said calmly.

Xiao Chiye couldn't believe it: "The Second Prince is the eldest son of the late Queen and her most preferred successor. How could he possibly rebel?"

Ke Zheng smiled bitterly: "This is something we cannot understand. The Second Prince is kind-hearted and has a very high reputation. Why should he be so anxious?"

Xiao Chiye and the others were not in the capital during that time, so they knew nothing about what happened in the capital: "Did anything else happen before?"

Ke Zheng nodded and said, "The gardener of the Second Prince's Mansion dug up the dragon robe in the back garden and reported it to the officials. After the official knew about it, he did not attend court for several days and did not give any reply."

Xiao Chiye already knew the ending of the story. The Second Prince must have made this move out of fear and anxiety, forcing himself into a desperate situation.

Ke Zheng sighed, "A group of officials petitioned the emperor to investigate the matter of the hidden dragon robe, but who knew the second prince would do something foolish, so all the officials who petitioned for a thorough investigation were dismissed from their posts."

Xiao Chiye lowered his head and pondered. It was obvious that someone had set up a trap to lure the Second Prince into it, but what did this have to do with their Xiao family?

Their family had been guarding the border all along. Three years ago, on the occasion of the emperor's birthday, they were allowed to return to Beijing. However, the day before the preparation, a large number of men in black rushed into their house, leading to the tragic massacre of their entire family.

My mother was originally planning to return to Beijing to find a girl for my second brother, but who knew that something like this would happen.

When he woke up, only his mother, who had been rescued from an abdominal injury, and his three children were by his side.

Ke Zheng looked at Xiao Chiye and said, "Your family was murdered three years ago, which happened to be when the Second Prince was plotting a rebellion, so the person above received the news and just had them buried properly."

Xiao Chiye frowned even more tightly: There are mysteries everywhere in this, or is it that their family died at such an unlucky time that there is no need for a thorough investigation.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ke Zheng didn't know what to say: "Chiye, where do you live now?"

Xiao Chiye: "Liuyang Village, Luocheng."

Ke Zheng looked at him: "Are you here for the Xiao family's affairs?"

"Well, with so many lives lost, I can't sleep well every time I close my eyes." Xiao Chiye's eyes were full of fatigue.

Ke Zheng: "I will help you find out, but it's been three years since the incident, I'm afraid it may be a little difficult."

"Thank you." Xiao Chiye thanked sincerely.

"Your elder brother and I are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. How can I feel at ease if he was killed for no apparent reason?" Ke Zheng was also annoyed.

Xiao Chiye looked at him: "Brother Ke, why were you transferred here?"

Ke Zheng smiled bitterly: "Since the incident with your family, all the troops led by the Xiao family have been dispersed. The third prince wanted me to join his camp, but I was demoted here a few days after I refused."

Xiao Chiye smelled something different: "Were they all dispersed?"

When Ke Zheng heard his question, he seemed to notice something different: "I thought before that they were worried that we would be difficult to lead, so they dispersed the army. Now I find that there seems to be something strange."

Xiao Chiye raised his eyes and looked at him. There were some guesses in the eyes of both of them, and this guess scared them both.

Ke Zheng didn't dare to think further. If everything was as they thought, then what was his reason for killing the Xiao family?

The Xiao family has been guarding the frontier since the time of General Xiao. After General Xiao died in battle, his three sons inherited the Xiao family army, who have been working diligently and without any mistakes.

Why kill?

If not him, then who could it be?

Xiao Chiye broke out in a cold sweat. If it was really as he guessed, would he still need to investigate further?
